Totally agree that having a co-founder helps, but totally DISAGREE that either that is the solution to your cold-feet, or that is absolute required to do a startup.
Also, I think there is little reason to believe that either bill gates or steve jobs got over their cold feet because of co-founders. Not to say that having co-founders might be a big reason behind their massive success. but at the same time they might have had smaller successes without co-founders.
So, to be more specific, do absolutely spend time in finding a co-founder or advisors that you can confide too, but again get over the cold-feet before that.
Getting over the cold-feet is a two step process: Do it directly and quickly.
1. Cross over to startup land by quiting your job already.
2. Burn the bridge by telling everyone, your friends, family, (now) old colleagues that you are doing a startup.
Always remember, the only way you will get around to fighting the devil is when the deep sea is behind you.
